Accredited by the Public Relations Institute of Australia, the program provides a world-class learning experience for communication professionals to develop their communication management and strategic skills. All subjects are offered by distance education, and include at least one assignment that students can focus on their own work or organisation, helping them to become more confident and productive employees from the outset.

Students learn about contemporary practice and theory, and apply their learning through case studies, problem-solving and strategy development.

In year one students learn about individual and leader communication styles, public relations and communication theory, employee communication and change management, strategy planning, research and communication audits.
